Yesterday, Alaska Airlines announced new features to its innovative Flight Pass subscription service. In 2021, it was the first U.S. carrier to offer a subscription plan, and after reviewing guest feedback, it will add enhancements for an even better experience. Key to the upgrades is streamlined booking for an even smoother trip.

Flight Pass lets subscribers take advantage of lower-than-average fares from select cities in California, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada. Most routes cost only one cent, plus taxes and fees. Now, after reviewing two and half years of customer comments, Alaska Airlines will make Flight Pass better than ever. Here’s what’s included.

  • Easy access: Subscribers can easily access the Flight Pass booking page on AlaskaAir.com.
  • Seamless booking: Members can book, change, or cancel flights on the Flight Pass booking page without contacting a reservation agent. Credits go directly into subscribers’ accounts. Additionally, by entering their Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan number and choosing a seat, members can earn miles and upgrades to First Class and Premium Class for elites (depending on availability).
  • Simplified plans: Plans are now available in two tiers:
